How do I stop KDE from saving files to RAM before copying to disk? (lemmy.world)

I don't like that the KDE file transfer progress does not take in account the transfer from RAM to disk, and it only takes into account disk to RAM. I don't want to wait for the "Don't eject yet" message to disappear, because it sometimes stays too long, and I get worried if there could be an issue with KDE. How do I make:

KDE/Dolphin take into account RAM to disk in progress, or
Make KDE/Dolphin send files straight to disk, without sending to RAM.

A lot of people kinda missing the point which is, even if KDE follows convention by copying memory to RAM and syncing to disk slowly (which is always gonna happen, USBs are slow) Dolphin should properly identify this and not just say "we did it! the transfer is complete!"

That being said, Nautilus (GNOME) does the exact same thing and it's always so annoying I have to search the web every time I want to remember how to track the progress of the sync command.
